*"31 million CAS registry numbers have been allocated for chemical compounds."
We could do with some lists, but an article on every compound is probably too much, when so little can be said for so many of them.
No, it's not. If it exists, it's a legitimate subject for an article.
How much do you know about modern organic synthesis?
A person interested in astronomy would probably have limited knowledge about organic synthesis. He would go ahead with adding stellar objects without spending much time on organic chemicals. He is able to admit that he knows nothing about organic chemicals, trusts that others are better versed in that subject, and lets them work in their own chosen field. He does not limit his world view to what he can see from his closed box.
He peers out of his telescope and sees stellar objects named organic chemistry, pottery shards, and pop culture and does not pretend that he can reach out and affect the motion of those stellar objects.
